ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.
Concordia Seminary, Ft. Wayne faculty place a heavy emphasis on Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic practices. Most ELDONUTS are Ft. Wayne graduates and refer to the St. Louis seminary as "the other one." St. Louis is quite Roman, too. One Ft. Wayne graduate called Eastern Orthodoxy "only a matter of polity."
Heiser tried to grow his little group by merging with the Rolf Preus Synod. Although Rolf has only one topic, Objective Justification, Heiser said (on his own video) that he never heard of the extent of the OJ heresy until Rydecki (WELS) was being kicked out. And Rydecki said Buchholz told a flat out lie!
This seems to be at Heiser's congregation in Texas. Compare this photo to the first one on this page. As Chemnitz wrote of the Roman Mass, it is either a comedy or a farce.
5 Namely, when under the title and pretext of external adiaphora such things are proposed as are in principle contrary to God’s Word (although painted another color), these are not to be regarded as adiaphora, in which one is free to act as he will, but must be avoided as things prohibited by God. In like manner, too, such ceremonies should not be reckoned among the genuine free adiaphora, or matters of indifference, as make a show or feign the appearance, as though our religion and that of the Papists were not far apart, thus to avoid persecution, or as though the latter were not at least highly offensive to us; or when such ceremonies are designed for the purpose, and required and received in this sense, as though by and through them both contrary religions were reconciled and became one body; or when a reentering into the Papacy and a departure from the pure doctrine of the Gospel and true religion should occur or gradually follow therefrom [when there is danger lest we seem to have reentered the Papacy, and to have departed, or to be on the point of departing gradually, from the pure doctrine of the Gospel].
